[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 51614"] I saw a story the other day that rapes and murders had gone down in the US. Can't remember by how much but that they had gone down. The majority of murders are ones where the victim and assailant knew one another and generally revolved around some personal dispute between them. Although I'm very supportive of the right of an individual to have and own a firearm or firearms and even an automatic weapon if they so choose I'm not so sure this or the carrying of weapons is the reason for this drop. What I do think is a factor is that like robbing a bank, it's very hard to "get away with murder" these days especially if it involves a gun. Guns are just to traceble these days and forensic science has gotten very good. Most murders are passion of the moment when victim and assailant know one another and I do think the reality of the simple fact that murders via firearms generally end in convictions and jail and/or death sentence weighs in this equation. This is where murder by other means comes into play. As for carrying a firearm, I'm not opposed to that at all but do I personally do it? Nope. I've always felt by not carrying one I would use my brain and just totally avoid places and scenarios where one might be needed. However, don't force your way into my home as I have no problem dusting your sorry arse from the face of the earth because in the end I hate everyone on this sorry planet except myself and my family! That said however, there is also a general truth to everyone carrying a firearm on their side as "a gun toting society is a polite society!" I wonder if UPS management would be as abusive at times if all the drivers carried guns? Then again if management toted guns at work we would be more productive. [/QUOTE]
